I'm glad you had a wonderful trip and a safe homecoming. It's good that you were unplugged for a few days, we all need that occasionally.RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417453399275779513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-86986801062094978992019-09-03T11:34:37.545-04:002019-09-03T11:34:37.545-04:00Such a nice vacation!

Speed was not important with a two-year-old who just sits down when he doesn't want to go forward.

LOL! That's the ONLY thing I don't like about vacations that are crammed full of activities. You don't get to stop and enjoy, as you're moving from point A to point B, to point C, and then the stress of maneuvering through airports, trying to catch the next flight on the next leg of your trip. We're leaving on a 3-week vacation this coming Sunday, won't be back until the 26th, or 27th, maybe not until the 29th! Who knows when we'll get back. Everything is planned for a leisurely drive down to Branson, MO, to attend a 3 day conference, and that will be the only stressful time, as we will have a schedule to keep for the conference days. But the before and after travel, leisurely cross-country, and heading your way, after the conference, to stay in Jefferson, NC, for 5 days, before we begin our trek home to North Dakota. Son and daughter-in-law, and the 4 grandkids are there in Jefferson, and haven't seen them in 3 years, since they moved away from North Dakota. It will be fun to see them, plus meet up with my daughter and the newest additions to the family, her future husband, and their new daughter, 6-month old Scarlett Grace! Looking forward to it, and who knows, our paths may cross in Jefferson! We may take a small road trip to Mouth of Wilson for a photo shoot! <br /><br />Glad you're back, Bonnie, safe and sound, and getting ready for the next round of life!Rhonda Albrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405897538803396473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82383556486814695512019-09-03T07:35:09.532-04:002019-09-03T07:35:09.532-04:00yep, set out to read Handmaids Tale , just couldn&...yep, set out to read Handmaids Tale , just couldn't get past first third of it.
